It’s one of the largest development projects in the history of Springfield, and it’s inspired by one of Springfield’s nostalgic pieces of history, the Melody Cruise-In Theatre. The new residential community, Melody Parks, will provide over 1,200 housing and rental units, commercial restaurants, retail spaces, and more.
Arbor Homes will construct new 1,200 to 3,200 square foot homes, and Fischer Homes will construct semi-custom, 2,000 to 4,000 square foot homes. There will also be first-, second-, and third-floor apartments and patio homes. Parks, ponds, and walking trails help create a larger sense of community within the 400-acre development site.
